Episode notes
Baptism Declares Our Trinitarian Identity
- The Great Commission names God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and tells Christians who they are as baptized members of God's family.
- Sinclair Ferguson links Matthew 28:18–20 to identity: baptism is a naming ceremony that makes us children of the Trinitarian God.
Creation Shows Trinitarian Action
- Creation reveals the Trinity: the Father speaks (the Word) and the Spirit hovers while the Father and Word together bring the world into being.
- Ferguson reads Genesis as early Trinitarian action even though Father/Son/Spirit titles are absent.
Old Testament Hints Of Three Persons
- Old Testament events like the Exodus display distinct persons of God: Father as deliverer, the angel of the Lord, and the Spirit leading Israel.
- Ferguson argues these hints point to one God who acts in three personal ways.
